Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process for the "East Leicestershire & Rutland Integrated Urgent Care" service has been undertaken by NHS Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland ICB. The service, classified under health services (CPV 85100000), aims to provide integrated urgent care to meet local demand and reduce avoidable emergency department visits in East Leicestershire and Rutland. This procurement, under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR), started with an intention to award notice on 3rd March 2026, followed by a confirmation of contract award on 8th May 2026. The contract is valued at approximately £5.5 million and spans from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2028. The procurement was done using a Direct Award C process without a prior call for competition, and the contract's status is now complete.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for growth for businesses in the healthcare sector, particularly those with experience in providing integrated care services. Suitably positioned organisations may find further prospects by demonstrating their capacity to deliver comprehensive urgent care services that meet local requirements. Existing providers that have previously demonstrated successful contract fulfilment, or those with the infrastructure to support rapid assessment and treatment services, would be well-suited for competition in this type of procurement. In particular, large-scale health care companies capable of leveraging resources and expertise to meet the high standards of NHS procurement would benefit from such opportunities.
